Development of an autonomous flight controller circuit with real time data transmission

Controlling a UAV in an emergency situation is a challenging task and it requires a highly skilled person. With modern technologies it is possible to design a UAV which can be controlled by anyone regardless of their skills. The objective of this study is to develop an intelligent quadrotor flight controller for autonomous navigation to aid humans. The intelligent flight controller is realized by adding additional IMU sensors to control more degree of freedoms (DOF) together with real time data communication. The design comprises of electronic circuits for navigation and telemetry developed from scratch with the help of CAD software. An open source flight controller software AeroQuad is used to test the quadrotor dynamics. The sensors data from quadrotor is obtained in real time to study the stability and dynamics of the system. The data collected shows behavior of the quadrotor when hovering and maneuvering.
